In which we talk about groupon and knitting

2012-01-24T09:52:00.002-06:00

This is a day early, but I thought you needed to know about this:
StevenBe groupon deal

We can discuss at knitting why I can't buy this groupon. See you then.

Weather IDK

2012-01-11T14:45:00.001-06:00

So, knitting tonight kind of depends on the weather, I guess.

Nuts!

2011-12-19T09:37:00.002-06:00

Does anyone have a nut allergy? Specifically, walnuts?

If you are one of those people who is opposed to nuts in cookies due to texture, do not fear! These are ground up very fine. And I say this as one of those people opposed to nuts in baked goods, in general.

(In knitting-related matters, I'm on take three of this f*#@ing bobbi bear.)

Cookie Swap Updates

2011-12-15T11:22:00.000-06:00

1.) The number of the counting is currently 7:

Josh and I are combined for 1 (this way we don't have to fight over kitchen space)
Amber
Jen
Tiffany
Abbey
Jane
Will

2.) 7 dozen cookies is a lot. So we decided yesterday that a half-dozen cookies per person is plenty. If you want to bring more, awesome.

3.) This is supposed to be fun, not stressful. If you aren't up to making cookies, store-bought are fine. Or don't bring anything, just enjoy the cookies that others bring. Or bring a toy for Dunn Bros. Toys for Tots box.

This is important -- Cookies!

2011-12-12T13:33:00.000-06:00

Last week we officially declared that _next week_ Wednesday, December 21st will be the First Annual Fight Knit Club Cookie Swap.

The rules are simple: Bring a dozen cookies for each participant. In return _you_ will get a dozen cookies for each participant!

Since we'll need to know how many cookies to bake, please post a comment here (or email me so I can post here, or show up this Wednesday and let us know) that you are in.

Cookies!

You can't stack your family

So this is the video I was talking about last week and meant to post:

Nicholas and I have been quoting it all the time.

I'm too full from lunch to think of a clever title

2011-11-30T13:33:00.002-06:00

See you tonight!

Here's some lulz in the meantime:

I'm so behind...

2011-11-23T13:01:00.002-06:00

let's catch up over knitting this evening!

On second thought: Amber's comment below reminded me that people are likely to be travelling or prepping for festivities tomorrow. I'm happy knitting at home if other can't make it. Let me know (here, or via text) if you still want to try to hang out though.

and the bees!

2011-11-16T14:41:00.001-06:00

I'm wearing my new mittens tonight. I think you all saw them in progress, but now they're clean and have the ends sewn in.

I need sweater advice

2011-11-09T11:49:00.001-06:00

I might as well get it from you people.

See you tonight!

I knitting and I know it.

2011-11-02T14:22:00.001-05:00

Oh, hey there

2011-10-26T14:31:00.001-05:00

I'll be there are the usual ballet-delayed time. I hope to not be alone.

Some Kind of Knitting

2011-10-19T11:36:00.002-05:00

I'm knitting another pair of pink socks. They'll look awesome with all my blue sweaters.

Who wants to come to my intervention tonight? :)

Miss you guys!

2011-10-12T13:40:00.002-05:00

See you tonight?

2011-10-05T10:01:00.002-05:00

I know i'll be late, and that makes me a

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

2011-09-28T08:36:00.002-05:00

So we knit, yes? Standard caveat is that I'll be 30ish minutes late, but I'll definitely be there because my ballet class is right there.

Ballet before knitting

2011-09-21T07:49:00.001-05:00

I'm going to be 15-30 minutes late for knitting, but I'll see you there?

I'm wearing pretty socks

2011-09-14T10:45:00.001-05:00

Knitting tonight. Yes?

It's Meterological Fall!

2011-09-07T14:14:00.002-05:00

Are you ready to show off your cute knitwear?

Blue Ribbon Winners

2011-08-31T07:35:00.003-05:00

Did anyone else enter knitting at the State Fair? Jane, Jumi, and I did. I want to make sure I see your pretties.

Let's talk at knitting tonight. Who's joining me?

Oh! This is for Abby:
Remember how last week we were talking about how to learn (to love) math? I forgot about khan academy. It's a collection of free online videos explaining math concepts. Some charter schools have been using it as a self-guided way for kids to learn math. I first hear about this on MPR. Anyway, I'm starting in the brain teasers section. There are a ton of interesting topics. I'm probably going to lose the next month of my life to this.

I'm back!

2011-08-23T19:32:00.002-05:00

I'm back in the world of the living (i.e. the world of not planning a wedding). I'll see you tomorrow night?
